Hello, welcome back to another Book Traveling Thursdays, which a weekly meme created by Cátia @The Girl Who Read Too Much and Danielle @Danielle’s Book Blog. The goal is to share the covers of a book related to that week’s theme, which you can see at the Goodreads group, indicating the original cover, the one of your country, your favorite and least favorite.
This week’s theme is “National Siblings Day is a few days away. Choose a book that has your favorite bookish siblings“. One of my favorite pair of siblings it’s the Lightwoods, from The Mortal Instruments. Izzy and Alec are just amazing, and Jace too, because he’s part of the siblinghood there 😉 .
Original COver:
I’m not a huge fan of this cover, but I did get used to it. I honestly think Sebastian looks a bit weird…
COVER FROM MY COUNTRY (PORTUGAL) & COVER FROM THE COUNTRY I LIVE IN (SPAIN):
Both Spanish and Portuguese editions share the same cover as the original. I do have to say that I’m not a huge fan of the font they used in the portuguese edition though.
Favorite COVER(s):
I love the new editions, the UK and the US ones, though I still love the UK one a tiny bit more. They’re so pretty.
LEAST FAVORITE COVER(s):
These are my least favorites (in order): Italian, German, Serbian, Polish. The Italian cover is not ugly, it just doesn’t have a thing to do with Shadowhunters. The German is not really my thing, it looks like High Fantasy from the 80’s. The Serbian edition looks like a cheap version of the original cover. And the Polish… well… what even? Is that Clary?
My post will be up later, but I picked the Lightwoods as well, but focus on City of Bones for my book covers. I’ve seen that German cover in your least favourite section many times for all of the books. It just doesn’t make sense for the series or this book.
yep, it’s unfortunate. =/
I almost picked them too this week 🙂 I think I might like them more in the tv show but they were still great in the books. Nice choice!
i think they have more “screen time” on the show than on the books =/
I love the UK edition. The Polish one is my least favorite.Like what were the publishers thinking?
Buying the UL editions was one of the best decisions ever :D, the books are gorgeous
Polish is in action again 😛
This time, I have no intention of defending it. The first time I’ve seen it on a bookshelf it took me a while to realize what book it is.
although, the whole series looks quite good on the shelf, but I do prefer the original covers
LOL, it’s just not very related to the book itself 🙂
I know 😀
Wow! The Italian one (I think it is) is basically just a black cover with the outline of a head. All the least favorites definitely aren’t very appealing!
yep *nods vigorously*
*smiles*
The Lightwood siblings are goals. They are so amazing
yep :D, you know I agree :P. The Blackthorns are quite amazing as well :D, maybe even more so.
The Blackthorns are quite amazing. I love them
me too!
When I saw this week’s theme I immediately thought about Izzy and Alec, they are probably my favorite siblings in YA. I think that the fact that Izzy is my girl crush has something to do with it haha but still they’re amazing !
Izzy is beyond amazing! Their love is just so fierce 😀
The UK one 😍
gorgeous, right?!
LIGHTWOODS FOREVER!
I will never accept that that’s supposed to be Sebastian on the cover. Nope. He does not look like that at all in my head hahaha
LOL, it’s slightly better than the original though
I was talking about the original LOL he just looks like a statue there.
ah. ok, then yes! that sebastian is weird as hell. 😛
Glad we agree on that!
100%!
Well, the Italian cover does have a person in shadows… so shadowhunters! They took it quite literally I guess XD
LOL, good way to analyze it.
I agree with you, the uk cover is really pretty, and the polish cover is really horrible!
lol. here here!
To be honest I don’t really like any of the covers that much but I rather the red one of any of the others! The Lightwoods are a great family 🙂
